TWRP Brick

Hey today I unlocked my bootloader and installed twrp.TWRP worked fine but when I tried to reboot to system my phone got into a boot loop(TWRP was still working).I tried to flash it again and I didn't succeed and moreover my bootloader was locked again.
Although I have unbricked my phone, I want to give another try to TWRP . Can someone tell me why this happened and how can I avoid it.
Thanks.

Which recovery did you flash? What MIUI version are you running?
I'm not sure if you're on kenzo or mtk (forgot codename) so it's for kenzo:
twrp-3.0.M4-0.img: https://dailyuploads.net/oxkk19zuk72u
I'm using it for long time (since release), works flawless.

Install adb and fastboot drivers .
Download orange fox recovery (place it on desktop ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pEu6xx0eg14uGbsf9tXCdu8LVz4z7iP/view?usp=drivesdk
Open CMD and enter into fastboot mode
In CMD type - fastboot flash recovery filelocation
For making it easy instead of putting file location , just drag the recovery file into CMD it will automatically write location .
Now simply boot into recovery by pressing volume up+ power or type fastboot boot filelocation .
Just do everything as mentioned there will be no problem , make nandroid backup asap .
What is Magisk? Thank you for the help. I'll be sure to post again if I encounter any problems.
What is a Nandroid backup?

It's a backup of your system
Before flashing anything in the custom.recovery, I recommend making a fully working ROM backup,
So you'll need to click backup in the recovery and tick
BOOT
DATA
SYSTEM
also, make a SEPARATE backup of the EFS this is very important.

Just an advise.
I think you should not try any of this mods before you study deeply the effects and the risks of it. You are so newbie that you can brick your device if you make any mistake performing the operations.
I have a Redmi note 5 AI 6/64 gb variant. After purchasing my device i have unlockd the bootloader and flash global stable rom but i can't relock the bootloader. my previous rom was MIUI 9.5.21.0 China and my current rom is MIUI 9.5.17.0. If i relock the bootloader phone boot into recovery mode and shows "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". If i unlocked the bootloader again then phone reboot into OS. As per my findings from MIUI 9.5.6.0 bootloader can't be locked after flashing global rom on Chinese device. Its a bug from xiaomi. So my question is
1. If i flash my device into 9.2.7.0 can i relock my bootloader again and can perform OTA update?
2. I have got an OTA update MIUI 9.6.3.0. If i update my device will it get bricked? If i can update my device via OTA update will it relock my bootloader automatically? Or do I have to flash it manually?

Question Can i downgrade from miui 13 to 12 without loosing data?

I should have been more careful before updating coz after the update i realized that twrp won't work on miui 13. I can fastboot recovery but the internal storage is encrypted and it shows 0 MB. I need root, so i am thinking of downgrading to 12.5 again. Can i do that without loosing data? Also how can i downgrade? Should i just download fastboot version of the rom and update it?

you can't update from 13 to 12.5 you need to erase all your data , it's mandatory...
Just flash the fastboot rom with Mi Flash and tick "Clean All" so after MIUI boot you can flash twrp and other ROM again
Already messed it up :-( Can you please tell me which fastboot rom i should flash... I was using eu rom but even after flashing it phone boots to mi recovery.
Hey, yesterday I flashed xiaomi eu stable MIUI 13.0.3 by their script.
To do it,
1) put the phone in fastboot mode
2) just run the script by double clicking on it, however you need the file with data_format on the end.
If your phone does bootloop and go back to MIUI Recovery 5.0 like mine did yesterday, you can fix it by wiping all data in this recovery it boots up to and then restarting the phone. It worked for me and my friend.

I didnt know this.. I won't go to MIUI 13 again coz there are no recoveries for it and it cant be decrypted for now but its good to know that i dont need recovery for root. Thank you!
I installed today CherishOS A12. Tbh cool rom, doesn't work that bad. A lot better than miui though. Animations are nice and long, plus the phone is fast.
